Text formatting (bold, etc) part of field entry in Access

#1 (**permalink**) 28-Jul-2006, 08:18 AM

It would be nice to be able to select part of text in a field and make it
bold, italic, etc., or even change its color without affecting the rest of
the entry. I use a subform where I'd love to be able to accentuate a word or
two in it without the whole subform taking on the format.

You will be able to do this in Access 2007.

In the mean time, Stephen Lebans has some solutions:
